With something less pressing than a global pandemic. Most corporations won’t make that bet.
Father in law had his second moderna dose and had a fever/ felt sick. Didn’t set in until the night and hit hard the morning after like a hangover. He’s 75 though. Cancelled his plans the next day. [Reply]

we tossed little debbie treats and stale halloween treats to the little people in their pathetic one use masks, hold on as best you can [Reply]
I'm on a wait list and I can call in to see what number I am in line. I actually moved back in line yesterday, so they're giving people cuts in front of me. That's not right. [Reply]
Got my 2nd yesterday. Went through the afternoon fine and after I went to bed around midnight my arm started hurting really bad. I mean REALLY bad. Nothing like the first shot. About 2 hours later I got the chills so bad the whole bed was shaking. That lasted about an hour then I broke out in a sweat. Today I have muscle aches and fatigue but starting to feel better.

Got the first dose of Moderna this morning. Centerpoint Medical did a good job it was all well organized. Not having any side effects at all right now. Though I expect some minor pain I'm the next 48 hours. Second dose a month later from today. [Reply]

You should get the Pfizer shot as well, just to make sure. [Reply]

It seems from what I know, if you don't have this type of reaction from the 2nd shot, you are an outlier. [Reply]
